Responding to "I did not like Biden's immigration policies" with this is a form of mental illness, by the way.

Not sure where I was going with that, other than that some day I might change something up radically. Until then, I suppose I will keep on keeping on, and hope at least a few people find use and/or enjoyment out of it all.

At 40, youthful angst has been replaced by burgeoning existential angst, and I sometimes worry if I have wasted the last 20 years of my life with this shit. But then I remember most of my friends are online at this point, and that keeps me going.

Guilt about the netlabel not being large enough and not doing physical editions, so larger bands aren't interested. There's guilt about my musical projects, not commercial enough to generate mass appeal and not experimental enough to be noteworthy. Guilt about my blogs not reaching enough eyes.

A thread:

Been dealing a lot of self-doubt recently, especially regarding my creative projects. I knew going in they wouldn't make boatloads of cash, I do sort of wish they were more self-sufficient. It didn't use to be as big an issue, but these days, any extraneous expense could become an issue.

A tale of two government agencies, i guess

The above article on how anti-Black school arrests are from the US government accountability office.

At the top is this pinned banner:
Lapse in Appropriations
Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

Due to the Radical Left Democrat shutdown, this government website will not be updated during the funding lapse.
President Trump has made it clear he wants to keep the government open and support those who feed, fuel, and clothe the American people.

Who wants to bet that historical curios and furniture from the recently-demolished East Wing will mysteriously disappear from their storage facility where they are being stored?

The answer to corruption is publicly financed campaigns.

This should be the biggest takeaway from NY’s mayoral race.

Thanks to public financing, corrupt oligarchs are about to lose the mayoral race.

i would do anything to get people to stop putting -core at the end of genres that have no connection whatsoever to hardcore but times change & things evolve & i guess now we are here, where people use the term "hopecore" for any new age music with piano arpeggios in the major scale

I have said this on multiple occasions, but it won’t be the Epstein list that removes him from power.

It will be the economic pain.

Weird time for him to have a heel turn.

Been playing The Outer Worlds 2. Really enjoying it so far. It’s not perfect, but as many have said, a lot of the shortcomings from the first game have either been addressed or improved. Honestly, the only thing I haven’t really cared for so far is the music, as nothing so far has really stood out.
